"Ok, if you haven’t been following me or new to my site, this was my effort to cover this winters surfing season in Hawaii. I had never taken a professional water angle shot before in my life and had no clue what I was getting myself into. I’m the first to admit I was way over my head, but it didn’t stop me from going for it. A site about a guy who surfs and takes pictures.... It's in water but not Deep"

Fine-tuned during the course of Kelly’s 2011 campaign, the Semi-Pro 12 comes from Kelly’s wider forward outline which incorporates a 12” nose. The main purpose of this design change was to allow for more volume which translates to easier paddling and wave catching while still accommodating a short rail for Kelly’s signature arcs.

Brian Bielmann, who has spent more than 30 years travelling to far flung corners of the world in search of the perfect photo, said: "Reef jumped off the ski and as Raimana rode through the tube of the wave, the ski got sucked over his head, missing him by inches. Raimana made the wave although he was nearly decapitated. Reef got sucked over with the wave and slammed into the water. The ski was destroyed but thankfully everyone was OK."
